Pumpkin and Graham Cracker Scones

October 25, 2012

Pumpkin and Graham Cracker Scones

I had no idea Graham Crackers were created in New Jersey!

What a coincidence.

So was I.

Well that is the fun fact for today!

I just love the yummy taste of graham crackers and graham cracker pie crust so the thought of adding graham cracker crumbs to my favorite Pumpkin Scone Recipe seemed like it would be a perfect creation…..

and it is.

These scones are rolled in graham cracker crumbs and even have some of those delicious crumbs inside.

I added them to the batter then rolled the dough in the graham cracker crumbs.

Since I made them a bit thinner than I usually do, this recipe made 16 scone. Plenty to share, or hide…whatever you like.

 

They may look crummy..

but they aren’t crummy in a bad way.

I’m sure these would turn a crummy day into a better day!

 

If you like Graham Cracker Pie Crust, these are really my favorite little pies to make.
